Crisp Crackers
Ingredients
Directions
The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.
Prepare
Split the common crackers in half.
Spread ¼ teaspoon of butter on each half.
Bake
Place the crackers in a pan.
Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) until delicately browned.
